Gilmore was furious that her doctor is being dropped, and she has to get a new one.

“They’re making endless people suffer needlessly,” Gilmore said.

The Fairfield County Medical Association in Connecticut received an injunction to stop doctors from being dropped.

“So it’s 2,250 doctors have been dropped from the Medicare Advantage Plan, which amounted to 20- to 30,000 Medicare patients,” Gilmore said.

Gilmore called the move unacceptable.

“You’re disrupting the whole art of medicine; the whole way that doctors take care of patients in an organized fashion,” she said.

United Healthcare officials have said the changes they have made to their network will encourage higher quality and more affordable Medicare coverage. The insurance company said it remains focused on serving members, and giving them a broad and comprehensive choice of doctors.
